The foot issue bothering Tetairoa McMillan during his late-2025 campaign has resurfaced during OTAs, causing him to miss practice time. Despite the injury, the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year posted elite efficiency indicators, generating a 40.9% Air Yards Share and a +71.5 EPA during his first professional season.
This is one of the most important revelations of training camp season as foot injuries notoriously dampen production, just ask Rome Odonze. Draft sophomore alpha McMillan with caution in best ball and dynasty until he returns to the practice field. In the meantime, Jalen Coker‘s draft stock continues to rise.

Though the NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe insists that Bryce Young looks “really good” in head coach Dave Canales’ “evolved” scheme, Person insists Young is not a extension candidate heading into the season. Ultimately, 2026 is a pivotal season in Young’s career.
Young finished as the QB24 in Fantasy Points Per Game (14.3) with a horrendous 6.3 Yards Per Attempt (#33) as he deliberately integrated Carolina’s upstart receiving corps. The light came on in the second half as he posted three 20+ fantasy point performances in the final eight weeks of the season.
Vegas is projecting Carolina to win 7.5 games, which implies Young will take a step forward, riding alpha wideout Tetairoa McMillan, who is primed for a second-year explosion after winning Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2025. Young-McMillan-Coker is cheap best ball double stack, and Young is a sneaky QB3 with Goff/Mayfield ceiling for superflex and 2QB dynasty leagues.
The Panthers lost their 2nd year tight end early in their 27-10 loss to the Seahawks. The loss sets up a week 17 matchup with the Buccaneers in what will most likely determine the division winner (pending Falcons vs. Rams).
After showing some flash late his rookie season, Sanders failed to blossom in year 2 as he managed only 4.5 fantasy points per game. As the TE41, he is surely off the map for 2026 redraft leagues. His 2026 value will land somewhere as a late round dart throw in best ball tournaments and as a stash in dynasty leagues. With year 3 looking murky, don’t be surprised if the Panthers attack the tight end position either via the draft or free agency.

Bryce Young surprisingly outplayed MVP front runner in Matthew Stafford. Young went 15 of 20 for 206 passing yards and 3 passing touchdowns. Young was able to capitalize on his defense forcing 3 turnovers from Stafford, including a pick-six and a forced fumble that won the game.
Bryce Young has been frustrating for fantasy owners and his believers. Young was QB20 on the season coming into this game. When he plays like he did today he has the potential to be a top 10 quarterback. That sounds crazy but Young finished the last 8 games of 2024 season as QB10 in that span.

Bryce Young overcame right ankle pain in the first quarter and would go on to not only lead Carolina to an overtime win but would also set the franchise record for passing yards in a game with 448 yards, surpassing the record of 432 set by Cam Newton.
Young bounced back from an ugly performance against the Saints in week 10, which saw him throw for only 124 passing yards. He spread the ball around on Sunday, but the primary beneficiary was Tetairoa McMillian, who finished the game with eight receptions, 130 yards and two scores. This win completes the sweep against their divisional rival and moves them within half a game of Tampa Bay for the division lead. Young finished Sunday with a stat line of 31 completions on 45 attempts, totalling 448 yards and three touchdowns.

Panthers fans and fantasy gamers alike need to monitor Tetairoa McMillan heading into Sunday’s matchup versus the Saints. McMillan has been downgraded to questionable with a hamstring injury.
The injury comes at a time when there was hope for a breakout game against a weak Saints secondary. McMillan has 1 WR1 game with a 16.9 outing Week 8 versus the Bills. Should McMillan suit up, it will be enticing to start him in a juicy matchup.
